Whether you're looking to start your own small business or grow your current company, a national campaign that's underway is hoping to help!

Wednesday, March 22, marks Small Business Development Centers Day.

According to those who work for SBDC, "the mission of America’s nationwide network of these facilities is to help new entrepreneurs realize the dream of business ownership, and to assist existing businesses to remain competitive in the complex marketplace of an ever-changing global economy."

Newswatch 16's Ryan Leckey teamed up with various SBDC representatives from across the area in Scranton and explained the help that is available.

Organizers of SBDC Day describe it as "a national, collective proclamation of the success and impact America’s Small Business Development Centers (SBDCs) have across the nation in the economic development and the small businesses community."

This day is aimed at "uniting the nearly 1,000 SBDC centers across the country and the hundreds of thousands of clients they serve by sharing, in real time, the success stories and notable impacts SBDCs collectively have on the small business community at large."

Our area has several of SBDCs. Although there is a cost to attend some of their various programs, SBDC consulting services are free and confidential.
